I honestly don't know what I would do now, if I didn't quilt! I grew up sewing, mostly my own clothes, & loved it. Then I discovered quilting, love it now, as I don't need to keep making myself clothes constantly. I did alot of counted cross stitch before I taught myself to quilt, so don't do much of that now. But quilting is my sanity, & like what I have been looking for, to do, all my life. Love it, & can't imagine ever giving it up!... Maybe, to some, it's a passing fad, something else they toyed with for awhile, but never got seriously into, but not me, no way!....I quilt for me, for my sanity, for my soul, & I love it!...
